Super Smash Bros: Ultimate Geno Edition

I had a feeling one way or another this direct would break the internet lol. Still looks good, I imagine won't be happy though.

[Eurell]

Plant was hilarious.

Story mode looks fucking great.

NANI THE FUCK

Plant was hilarious.

Story mode looks fucking great.

I'm surprised at how much I want that plant...

[Scythiroth]

I knew the leak was too good to be true since Geno was there. Story looks like it could be interesting maybe, but probably still waiting a little after it launches before buying it.

[Corrderio]

My only real complaint was the season pass.

"Buy our season pass without us telling you what you're getting!"

[Xno Kappa]

Kinda irked they didn’t introduce the five characters for the DLC fighter pass, but are still asking blind money for it. SFV did this for their season two pass and all it did was piss people off.

[Cream Soda]

That direct was hot garbage

[Fiye]

There's no rush to pre-order the DLC unless you really want a Mii costume for some reason.

Only time limited thing is Pirahna Plant .

[Xno Kappa]

One thing the direct did was remind me how awful this is going to play online. Everyone and their mothers is going to be on some shitty WiFi.

So it's any online game.

I still wanted a Mallow announcement just to see BG explode in salt.

[silverdragontyr]

I was FULLY expecting them to show Geno as an Assist Trophy or Mii costume just for the salt storm. They did say no echos as DLC so either Shadow will be his own character or nothing. Maybe they need to design his gun.

[Tymon]

Shadow and Isaac are assist trophies (confirmed)

Rex is a Mii Swordsman costume (confirmed)

Pyra is a spirit

Geno is nothing, so might be DLC, who knows. But you are 100% not seeing Shadow Rex or Isaac as characters period.

[Scythiroth]

Shadow was shown as an Assist, highly doubt he would be a DLC character.

[Xno Kappa]

So it's any online game.

I just thought it was awkward as hell to go out of their way and recommend a wired connection on the Switch lol.

So the run-down is basically
-2 and a half characters
--Ken echo for Ryu
--Incineroar (gen7 pokemon)
--Piranha Plant (post-launch character, maybe 2-3 months, free for a limited time? I missed the details on this)

-Season pass for $25 for 5 packs of a character, stage, and some music (individual packs for $6); scheduled to release periodically through Feb 2020

-Spirits mode content is basically like combining equipment/stickers from old adventures with a adventure/event match like structure. Not full-on Subspace-like.

-Some new Assist trophies: Isaac (Golden Sun), Shadow the Hedgehot, girl from Fatal Frame, Black Knight from Fire Emblem9/10 (with FEH voice clips), Spring Man (ARMS), Wily Capsule, Guile, some dude from Virtua Fighter, maybe a couple others I missed
-Rex XC2 mii fighter outfit. RIP
-That big purple robot dude from Subspace appears in Adventure (Galleom)

Misc stuff:
-2 player online on one system is possible
-"Elite matches" system with other "skilled" players when smash rating is high enough. Devs will reportedly use data from these match types for balancing
-No "for fun/glory"; you pick preferred rules and matchmaking tries to balance that vs connection quality and geographical proximity. Picks your rules or theirs at random.

Spirits cover a lot of ground and while I wouldn't take any character appearing solely as a Spirit (read: basically Sticker from Brawl) as hard deconfirm, Shantae was one of the blink and you miss it ones. Also that one girl Tsubasa from TMS#FE.

[silverdragontyr]

I honestly am not upset or don't really much of anyone we "didn't" get except Geno but man, watching comments fly by on the YouTube stream and people are pisssssed. Like some even said they were legit crying. I don't know I still think the game looks fun. I'll buy and play with friends and enjoy myself.

[Tymon]

Well, no reason to bury the hatchet on Geno yet. Him and Banjo are probably still a decent chance at making it in. Neither were shown in any form this trailer.

[Seravi Edalborez]

The only part I was unclear on is whether PP is one of the 5 in the fighter's pass or not.
